NEO LTE Block SMS Issue

When I check the Block SMS under Traffic Policy, my device loses the ability to connect / register on the aeris network.

I spent around 8 hours trying to figure out why my device stop registering and was finally able to determine that if the "Block SMS" option is checked, my device will not register. This is repeatable on the same device and on a second device that I had to setup for troubleshooting.

It is important to understand that the packet data and RF functionalities are separate pieces of our services. Part of the behavior you have encountered (BLOCK SMS , device no longer registers ) is normal, What would not be normal is for the device to lose the ability to complete data connectivity.
